My parents are driving me up a wall

[redspicyflag]

So this girl invited me over to her house

And so I go over to ask my parents if I can chill with her

and they go bat**** insane since it's a girl

:box:

Damn they suck

I am feeling very down right now

I dont tell my parents its a girl, i just tell them its a "friend" and i hang out with them at school, or that they are from my school. Or if theres going to be other male friends there i say their names but leave out the girls. Usually my parents dont ask too many more questions. My mom gets freaky about it too, but if my dad inquires more and i tell him its a girl he dosent care as much.

I hate lying but it seems that'll be what it'll come down to

Your 17. Why don't you get your license? Then, you could say your going somewhere but, actually going somewhere else. - The down side though is if your parents call the person you said you were suppose to hang out with. Or if they call your house. :crazy:

I agree with Bryce556 - you can lie without actually lying, just only give them the information you know they will accept

Or you can just tell them that you are going out with/sleeping at some guy friend, I did that myself sometimes in my first realtionships (not that my parents were strict about this, they are more liberal than I could wish for, but I would get just too embarased to say I was going out with a girl at that time ).

One last thing you can try is just asking them to talk about it with you and convicing them to give you some more freedom, agreeing on some "rules" if needed. I think it should work if they are able to think at least a bit reasonably and your family is not very religious, traditional or something like that (no sex before marriage and blahblahblah). Might be good to try and talk to your father first, I guess he had such problems too when we was young so he could understand you easier and help you in a later argument with your mom. Good luck

Poor baby, maybe you should consider not telling them exactly whats going on

every relationship is based on an initial lie

dude im 19 years old now, and my parents dont even let me go clubbing, i just lie and say im doing a night shift at work (oh btw in europe its legal to drink/go clubbing at 18)

Poor suckers, legal drinking age is 16 here
